I know it is a beta and I expect the battery to drain but my 7 plus has been doing really well after the first couple of hours running the beta yesterday. The first few hours it went down big time then stopped dropping and settled down. I charged it up and it ran like normal. I am guessing there are some background file conversion tasks and things happening that need to settle down after an install.

does anyone else have this problem when i go into battery settings on beta 2 standby and usage are the same numbers idk if its a bug and also the battery life on beta 2 is super bad

Same issue on my Air 2. My device is running 70% CPU 24/7. I downloaded Xcode and found a bunch of processors running at high CPU. But restarts don't solve the issue. This is definitely a cause of bad battery life. It appears the only way to "attempt" to fix it is a restore as new. But there is a bug with my erase all settings and content button. It doesn't work!

Can you give me any tips you have done so get back to normal battery life when being on beta 2

I do not think we can tame the battery drain problem and the best is to sit this out until the next beta. All the suggestions doesn't seem to work or only work temporarily before the drain comes back. It is as though this beta was meant to drain your battery hmm....
